Valentine Note Card & Treat Box




Valentine's is just a few days away.  How did that happen?  I was out of town for a few days and again, working with limited supplies.  The Tiny Treat Boxes have been retired, but the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are a fabulous replacement!  I cut the Kraft Cardstock to make a 3.5"x3.5" notecard.  The stamped/die cut clouds were left over from  a previous project and I had a scrap piece of cardstock and these little birds from the Made With Love stamp set were stamped all over it.  I used the heart die from the Up & Away Thinlits Dies to cut it out. The heart-shaped window opening on the box was made with the same heart die. I place a thick piece of cardstock inside the flattened box, to protect the back of the box from accidentally being cut through. I used the 2x8 cellophane bags to hold the red m&m's.  This is a very versatile project for Valentine's Day, escpecially if you are short on time.  A simple note card and cute little box of candies is always a welcome treat.

Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits


I know I said I was done with balloon cards, but this one has been laying on my work table for two weeks, waiting to be completed. The inside was all done, but I guess I lost some steam after that and left the card front blank. After much procrastination, it finally has a face. After heat-embossing the sentiment, I used the Sponge Brayer to add some strokes of color, in Pacific Point, Crushed Curry and Emerald Envy. Easy peasy.


 Here's a tip: Stamp and heat-emboss sentiment first. Then sponge on the color and remove any ink from the surface of the embossed image with a soft cloth or tissue. Or, if you're like me, use your finger! HA!
